There is no disputing what first year head coach and Coach of the Year Kermit Davis and Ole Miss basketball accomplished in the 2018-19 college basketball season. Coach Davis was responsible for one of the top turnarounds in college basketball with a 20-13 season. During the 2017-18 season the Rebels record was 12-20. What Kermit Davis did was simply astounding.
The Rebels 20 regular season wins were good enough for Ole Miss basketball to see it’s ninth NCAA appearance in program history as the Rebels were picked as No.8 seed in the NCAA Tourney.
